Increased Epicardial Fat Volume Is Independently Associated with the Presence and Severity of Systemic Sclerosis

Highlights Epicardial fat volume is independently associated with the presence and severity of systemic sclerosis. Extrapericardial fat volume is only associated with the presenc...

Increased Epicardial Fat Volume in Systemic Sclerosis

In this issue of the journal, Long et al. describe a close association of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and pericardial adipose tissue with the presence and severity of systemic sclerosis (SSc). ...

Evaluation of a High Concentrated Contrast Media Injection Protocol in Combination with Low Tube Current for Dose Reduction in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Rationale and Objectives The study aimed to prospectively evaluate the radiation dose reduction potential and image quality (IQ) of a high-concentration contrast media (HCCM) injection protocol in...

Differentiation of Intrahepatic Cholangiocellular Carcinoma from Hepatocellular Carcinoma in the Cirrhotic Liver Using Contrast-enhanced MR Imaging

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to investigate the potential of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging features to differentiate between mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocellular...

Differentiation Between Luminal-A and Luminal-B Breast Cancer Using Intravoxel Incoherent Motion and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Rationale and Objectives The study aimed to investigate whether intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can differentiate luminal-B...

Differential Aging Signals in Abdominal CT Scans

Rationale and Objectives Changes in the composition of body tissues are major aging phenotypes, but they have been difficult to study in depth. Here we describe age-related change in abdominal tis...

Differences in Texture Analysis Parameters Between Active Alveolitis and Lung Fibrosis in Chest CT of Patients with Systemic Sclerosis

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to determine the diagnostic aid of computed tomography (CT) features for the differentiation of active alveolitis and fibrosis using a CT texture analysis...

Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasonography for Pediatric Appendicitis

Rationale and Objectives For imaging pediatric appendicitis, ultrasonography (US) is preferred because of its lack of ionizing radiation, but is limited by operator dependence. This study investig...

CT Image-based Decision Support System for Categorization of Liver Metastases Into Primary Cancer Sites

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to provide decision support for the human expert, to categorize liver metastases into their primary cancer sites. Currently, once a liver metastasis is de...

Automated Volumetric Mammographic Breast Density Measurements May Underestimate Percent Breast Density for High-density Breasts

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate discrepancy in breast composition measurements obtained from mammograms using two commercially available software methods for sys...
